Seong Gihun - Blog Posts

I’d be down for an entire episode. I want them to be able to understand each other’s motives, reasoning, etc. I want them to see how similar yet different they are in the best and worst ways possible.

You know what I want for season 3?

I want for Gi-hun and In-ho to sit their fucking asses down and just talk. I don't want them to get in a fistfight like Gi-hun and Sang-woo at the end of season 1, I want them to have an actual fucking philosophical debate. I want them to go full talk no justu.

RAHHHHH GIHUN WORLD DOMINATION‼️‼️‼️

I have like the biggest Gihun brain rot known to man at the moment he’s literally all I think about (GET ME OUT OF MY SKIN)

"It's you!"

"Despite everything, it's still you..."

I love this quote from undertale and when I saw someone use it for Gihun I just HAD to draw it(I also needed a new wallpaper for my IPad) Lowkey don't like the second one a lot but fuck it we ball

Even MORE Co-Frontman Gi-Hun au stuff !!!

No actually like when I kept seeing s1 clips on tt I decided to rewatch s1 because of how much I forgot and he was such a sweetie 🥺 like he smiled a lot more and overall was so high energy it hurts seeing him now like he’s so serious and he barely smiles MY SHAYLAAAAA

Sorry me again I have a follow up thought about the rewatch: I completely forgot about how sweet Gi-hun was in S1 :,(((( like the comparison between the two breaks my heart

I know right!! He still is kind and all, but all of that trauma took away his energetic charm. I miss that he was a lot less traumatized and happier, even though his life sucked then too.

Watching him change is heartbreaking. I am just thankful we still have him with us and that his personality still shines through his trauma.

THE SILLIES

RING A RING A RINGG 🎶

MORE SQUID GAME ZOMBIE AU STUFF RAHHHHH‼️‼️‼️

An idea I have is that Inho wants to try and get close to Gihun so he disguises himself as human. It ends up working cuz Gihun definitely isn’t the smartest 😅

OMG OMGOMGOMGOMGOGM LESBINISM YESSSSSS LAWD YESSSSS AHHHHHHHHHH

giving gi-hun the hugs he deserves <3 (ignore in-ho's being slightly nefarious)

Beautiful art style 🤩

Accurate. Very accurate. This is so funny

Most characters I connect and relate to are usually about my age. There was a time a couple years ago that late twenties was pushing it. But look at me now, fully just, enamored and invested with seong gi-hun. A 51 year old man who is older than my dad by several years.

Love you baby girl 😘

The fact that Thanos had a necklace full of drugs and the mother had a KNIFE in her hair after they were kidnapped brought to the game but they found gi-huns tracker THAT WAS IN A TOOTH IN HIS MOUTH really gives the impression that the game runners couldn't give a fuck about any of the players other than gi-hun. That just really didn't care.

They could just go whatever the fuck they wanted. Poor gi-hun

(also ... Who found that tracker. Who stuck their hand in his mouth to look for it. Frontman, I'm looking at you)

yes yes yes yes, exactly, yes. Love this hc. Should be canon

My headcanon is that this is the moment in-ho started taking an interest in gi-hun:

Because it was such an unusual thing to do. An unusually kind thing to do. In a moment where you couldn't really blame anyone for pairing up with someone they thought would help them survive (most people would prioritize their own lives in this moment, it's completely natural), gi-hun instead chose to extend his hand to the elderly man he had befriended because he couldn't bear to see him left alone without a partner. Even if it meant gi-hun himself would be at a severe disadvantage for the next game.

I like to think this is the moment that made in-ho pause and realize there is something different about gi-hun.

Dude, I just saw someone saw that gi-hun had lost all his personality, character and whimsy and had 0 arc this season. Said he was a completely different guy and my GOD do I want to tear out my own hair or throw them or myself off a cliff.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF PTSD???????????? OF DEPRESSION??? OF TRAUMA AND WHAT IT CAN DO TO YOU?

As someone who knows, yeah, that's what it does to you. Suddenly you aren't the happy person you once were. That doesn't fucking mean your a different person or have no personality.

I thought how gi-hun was characterized was perfect. Spot on. I saw myself in him and I understood what he was thinking or feeling most of the time. Especially since the games this season seem mostly aimed to hurt him specifically, and I can go into that later. With how Season 1 left off, this was how I expected gi-hun to act. It makes sense! That doesn't mean hes another guy.

Also ... No arc, you say? His arc this season was trying NOT to change. I don't know what to call it, a... Test of will, or smt I guess. Yeah it's not a typical arc but by golly am I interested in it.

The entire season, in-ho was trying to hurt him. Saying things that would put more death on his shoulders, more guilt. Since he joined the game. The whole thing was trying to get gi-hun to stop caring about people. To perhaps, let people die. 'to stop being the hero'. That's literally how the season left off. Jung bae is dead and in-ho staged it to make the majority of the responsibility and guilt on gi-hun.

He's trying to break him.

Yet, despite it all, gi-hun keeps trying to save people. Over and over. Even after the purposefully crafted 'special' game when the players killed each other, gi-hun won't let them murder the ones who did. His whole purpose, the whole reason he's in this season to begin with, is because he wants to save people.

And the antagonist is trying to ruin that and break him.

That's his arc. And by golly is it a fascinating arc.

Also, in that post it said that (tho not a trans person) they think hyun was odd representation... and girl. Shut up. As a trans person I fucking love hyun. I cried when that grandma said she was one of the girls too when going to the bathroom. Hyun is so multifaceted and unique and not morally bad or good, she's just a person who makes mistakes. And tho her transness is a big part of her character, it didn't feel forced.

just saw the worst take of all time on tiktok......... like fork found in kitchen i know but good god 😑

the idiots on that app are always like "🤓wElL tHe GaMeS hAvE bEeN hApPeNiNg SiNcE tHe 80s🤓" to justify gihun being idiotic to think he could stop them

u dumb bitch GIHUN DOESNT KNOW THAT!!!!

WHY WOULD HE ASSUME THESE FUCKASS GAMES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR DECADES????

HE LITERALLY ONLY FOUND THEY WEREN'T A ONE-TIME THING WHEN HE SAW THE SALESMAN IN THE SUBWAY AGAIN!!!!

ARE YOU BRAINLESS??? ARE YOU A CLOWN??? ARE YOU DEVOID OF BASIC EMPATHY???
